The tremendous variety in fabrics and beads - it has a very uplifting feel to it. The proprietor is helpful and interesting to talk to. I strongly recommend this store for anyone having an interest in Indian spirituality, culture and fabrics.

I LOVE this store. I especially love knowing that all of the artisans are being paid a fair wage for their work, and it’s so fun to see all of the behind the scenes travel on Instagram too. There are so many things here that you can’t find anywhere else (unless you actually go to India or Nepal, etc. of course). And the shop owner is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

I first visited Waterlily while in Maine in 2007, anticipating our move to Portland. What a delightful place, full of reminders of my own cultural heritage. Renee really lives her purpose in this conscious trade shop, and I agree with others that I have found some of the best gifts (for myself, too) here. I just purchased a work satchel that i know I'll use forever, and the scarves and kantha quilts are amazing, too. Highly recommended!
